Carefully remove the iron and all accessories from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport. Ensure all components are present and undamaged.

2.3 Initial Cleaning

Before first use, wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth to remove any manufacturing residues. Fill the water tank and perform a test iron on an old piece of fabric to clear any internal impurities.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Filling the Water Tank

1. Ensure the iron is unplugged from the mains and has cooled down.
2. Open the water inlet cover.
3. Fill the water tank with tap water up to the 'MAX' level indicator. Do not overfill.
4. Close the water inlet cover securely.

3.2 Powering On and Temperature Selection

1. Place the iron onto its charging base.
2. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
3. Turn the temperature dial to the desired setting according to the fabric type. The indicator light on the base will illuminate, signaling that the iron is heating.
4. Wait for the indicator light to turn off, indicating the iron has reached the selected temperature.

3.3 Steam Functions

• Continuous Steam: Once the iron is at the correct temperature, select the desired steam level using the steam control slider.
• Steam Boost: For stubborn creases, press the steam boost button. This delivers a powerful burst of steam.
• Vertical Steaming: Hold the iron vertically, close to the fabric (e.g., hanging clothes or curtains), and press the steam boost button repeatedly.

4. Maintenance

4.1 After Each Use

• Unplug the iron and allow it to cool completely.
• Empty any remaining water from the tank.
• Wipe the soleplate with a damp cloth to remove any fabric starch or residue.

4.2 Self-Cleaning Function

The iron features a self-cleaning function to remove mineral deposits. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full product manual for the specific procedure. Typically, this involves filling the tank, heating the iron, and then activating a self-clean button over a sink.

4.3 Storage

Store the iron upright on its base in a safe, dry place, out of reach of children. Ensure the cord is neatly wrapped around the base if a cord storage feature is present.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your iron, please consult the following common problems and solutions:

• Iron not heating: Ensure the iron is correctly placed on its charging base and the base is plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the temperature dial setting.
• No steam or insufficient steam: Check if the water tank is filled. Ensure the temperature setting is high enough for steam production (usually above the 'MIN' steam setting). The iron needs to be hot enough to produce steam.
• Water leakage: Ensure the water tank is not overfilled and the water inlet cover is closed properly. Make sure the temperature is set correctly for steam ironing; if the iron is too cool, water may leak instead of turning into steam. The anti-drip feature helps prevent this.
